[simpits-tech] RE: BackHoe Sim

[Ian Grant]

I'm building an F1 cockpit. Got about 50% of the planning done; it's
based on the Lotus T72 from way back when. I'm using it as practice for
the "real thing" - my Spitfire cockpit, which has been in the works for
about eleventeen years... :-(

If I can find the el-cheapo digital camera, I'll take some pics.

Inspiration came from a website, which I'll now have to go and look for
(again). It's also easier - no dashboard to worry about! My wife
suggested a pit based on an old Bentley; maybe that will be next. 

I also want to build a drag-racing cockpit, although I'll probably use
the Lotus for that, as well. I only have so much room!

LOL. Now THAT would be something to see! And a tad bit easier to do, no 
doubt.

Just out of pure curiosity, how many people out there do we have
building 
non-flight sims? I know we have at least one train pitbull, any car guys
out 
there?

That's it, I'm scraping the F-16 and building a Backhoe sim with rudder
pedals and an ACES II.
